On a whim I took the kids to Makara Beach yesterday. It is really on our back door step - only 15 minutes away by car, but in a direction we rarely go! After a winding rural drive along narrow roads, we arrived to find many others with the same idea. No matter; plenty of rugged coastline and rockpools to explore, enough for everybody. We spent more than two hours pottering about [and climbing large rocks!] until we got tired and headed home. A highlight for the kids was finding a driftwood shelter someone had made on the beach, and 3 small carved pumice heads within. Rather intriguing that someone went to the trouble of carving them and then left them half-buried in the sand...I love our outings - Wellington has so much to offer like this!
